Evaluation criteria

Is the idea new?

Have properties of carbon been taken into consideration or have new qualities been mentioned which should be developed?

Has the idea giver defined a target group, which benefits by the realization of the idea?

What is the operational and / or economic benefit from a possible product, method or process?

Has the idea giver mentioned a company or organization which should realize the idea?

Illustration / Presentation of the idea

Is the idea understandable and is the description detailed enough?

Has the idea giver attached graphics and concepts?

Have sources been provided for any given statements?

Please make sure that your submitted idea has a clear and understandable demonstration.
Describe your idea as detailed as possible and feel free to add additional documents. The more and better your idea is explicated, the more easily the jury can evaluate it.

All members of the jury have the same voting rights. Not all evaluation criteria have the same weight of importance. The representatives of the initiators will be granted the power of a veto that can only be applied under special circumstances, e.g. when an idea is in adverse conflict with the business interests of the company.
